A Taste for Murder Draws ‘Darker’ Buzz as Warren Brown Reveals Croatia Filming

The series pushes the British-detective-abroad trend toward a moodier tone.

Overview

  • Warren Brown told BBC Breakfast the Italy-set drama was shot in Croatia, with the look warmed up in post-production to match a sun-soaked feel.
  • He said weather forced last-minute schedule shifts during filming, with scenes moved indoors when rain was forecast.
  • Viewers on social media are comparing the show to Death in Paradise and Whitstable Pearl, with many calling it darker and in some cases better.
  • The second episode centers on a British tourist found at the foot of a cliff, raising the question of whether she fell or was pushed.
  • The six-part series follows grieving DCI Joe Mottram in Capri, where family ties, cooking lessons and a wary partnership with Inspector Lara Sarrancino feed into each case, and it is available to stream on ITVX.
